A golden shrine arch framing a green brocade backdrop holds two large copper-toned deity figures seated on a red cloth-draped platform. The figure on the left wears a red turban and carries a trident, with a pink dhoti and rudraksha-style beaded garlands; the figure on the right wears a gold crown and green sari with jewelled necklaces and white jasmine garlands. In front stands a black Shivalinga wrapped in white cloth and a white-and-red flower garland, with rudraksha beads draped around it and a copper kalasha suspended above. A man in white ritual dhoti and shoulder cloth, with a white forehead mark and beaded mala, sits at the lower left beside brass puja vessels, a silver tray, and a small figure in blue on a golden peetha at the base.
